Sandals Barbados

This is a lovely hotel. Right on the beach snd next door to Royal Sandals Barbados but effectively they are one hotel as they are connected together. This means you have access to multiple restaurants and pools. Only4 restaurants require a reservation so there is always plenty of choice and there is lots of choice! Food generally is very good and there are plenty of bars too. The staff were lovely and friendly and very helpful and acknowledge you as they walk by. Bar staff were great in all the bars but especially in the pub. The two main pools do get busy and towels are down by 7am but there are other options where we were always able to get a sun bed even at 11am Rooms were good. We had a small issue with the shower water being tepid and we had an issue with one restaurant with poor service but that wouldn’t stop me from recommending this hotel Sandals Barbados is quieter than the Royal if that is what you are looking for. We enjoyed our stay very much

Sandals Barbados/Royal Barbados is a beautiful Resort with many lovely restaurants to choose from. Delicious food and unlimited drinks. The service there is top notch & so helpful & always with a smile. We stayed on the Barbados side with no Butler. There was really no view. They faced us toward a building that was under construction. Updates is what they called it. Didn’t really affect us because we were rarely in our room but would have liked to have been notified earlier than a week so we could have changed our plans. The only thing that we didn’t like was that the ocean was really rough. Couldn’t swim in that beautiful water. We stayed on the South side & went in their off season. But that was our mistake not the resorts. All in all we are glad we chose Sandals(our first time) and choose Sandals for our next vacation.

My husband and I just got home from sandals Barbados, it was a beautiful resort and close to the airport which we loved as well. This is our second sandals experience we did enjoy our time here, butch’s restaurant is a must that was our favorite meal on property. For the price I feel the food and service was lacking a bit around the resort. I feel like everywhere we went was a hit or miss some employees didn’t seem like they wanted to be there, but some were also great. We want to shoutout Zebe at the swimup pool bar on the Royal side he was AMAZING so fun and nice and every drink he made us was great you can tell he loved what he does and it shows. He even noticed I didn’t finish a drink and came over and asked what I didn’t like about it that speaks highly to us as well. Now for a few of our dislikes there was some construction going on which we knew before arriving I guess we didn’t realize how early it starts if you like to sleep in it could be a little loud. We noticed almost every restaurant or place we went to it took a long time to get our food there’s really no “quick” options we went to the merry monkey our first night and their were only 3 other tables besides us and it took over an hour to receive our food after ordering. Keep in mind it is a public beach and you will have people coming up to you every 10 minutes trying to talk to you or sell you something. And lastly While they have the bowling alley we noticed their wasn’t too many nightly activities the nights we were there so if you like a more party night life this resort may not be for you. Overall we did enjoy this resort it’s very well kept and beautiful but I don’t think we feel the need to revisit.

My husband and I just celebrated our 20th anniversary here. This is our fist all inclusive and first Sandals. It was amazing. I really have zero complaints. We ate at Butch's. Merry Monkey Pub, Bombay, Jerk Shack, and room service. We loved Merry Monkey so much, we went twice. Every single person who waited on us in any way really seemed to genuinely care and want us to have an amazing time. The only exception I would say was the ladies at the bar at the infinity pool. They didn't really seem to like their jobs. They were not rude but no comparison to the bartenders at the swim up bar. And no one compared to Akhem (spelling is probably wrong) in the Piano Bar. He either really loves his job or is good at pretending. He was amazing, entertaining, and attentive. For some reason, on our last day, we had no housekeeping service, bar and fridge not restocked. But, we were able to grab somethings from the lounge. Nothing was very crowded, no problem getting to where we wanted to be. Plenty of room in the pools. I have read where some have issues finding chairs at the pool. I did see a lot of chairs saved with towels that never had a person in them but, we didn't care because we spent most of our time in the water. Can't wait to go back.

During our stay at Sandals Barbados, we found the staff to be very helpful and friendly. The resort was full of beautiful plants, flowers and trees. Plenty of space at all the pools and beach. All the places to eat or get an adult beverage were nice and easy access, except Butch's Chop house. No reservations open all four days we stayed there.
